To the Editor:

We would like to thank Bill Huelsenbeck for the 28 years he has devoted to Ship Bottom as our mayor. Throughout nearly three decades, Mayor Huelsenbeck has guided our borough in the right direction with his leadership, knowledge and genuine concern for our town and its residents.

He has always been accessible, answering questions and addressing concerns while leading our community with genuine truthfulness and integrity. He continually put the best interest of Ship Bottom above all else while anticipating the future needs of our town.

This January our newly elected mayor will truly “have big shoes to fill.” As you prepare to cast your vote for mayor in the upcoming election, please consider Jim Ulrich, a candidate possessing the experience, knowledge and trusted endorsement of Mayor Huelsenbeck to lead Ship Bottom forward.
